You can't mature, grow, and progress by remaining mentally where you've always been. There's no way you can get past something you refuse to let go of. You can't let go until you allow yourself to heal and become better. Many people, although grown in age, have not mentally matured because of remaining stuck in the mental states they've always been in. When people don't heal from their issues they hold on to those things and allow those things to take a strong hold in their lives, which can lead  to dysfunction. It causes insecurities, and other issues. Many people end up making bad choices and decisions. Many people allow and accept unnecessary things in their lives due to mindsets. Most people are prisoners to their own ways of thinking.Yet, they refuse to change. By faking and pretendibg, you'll always remain the same.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.
